14 adorable puppies rescued from rollover crash in Connecticut
Fourteen adorable puppies were rescued from a rollover crash in Connecticut on Thursday morning, according to officials.
A vehicle carrying the pups smashed into a utility pole on Senexet Road in Woodstock around 6 a.m., according to Connecticut State Police.
No people were hurt in the crash, but first first responders provided care for the 14 puppies.
They were able to retrieve them once power was cut to some downed power lines, the Muddy Brook Fire Department said.

The Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments’ Animal Services and Dr. Gwenn Gaumond from Peake Brook Veterinary Center responded to the scene to provide veterinary care and shelter to the animals.
Photos from the scene posted by the fire department show several puppies of all different breeds at the scene. Some were still in their cages while others were being comforted in the arms of the responders.
Peake Brook Veterinary Center told The Post all puppies are accounted for, “with most receiving a happy ending” — but provided no additional information on their conditions.
“You hate to see things like this happen, but I am glad that the community could count on Peake Brook Veterinary Center and our mobile unit to respond,” Dr. Gaumond said.
